Keep a bead of ink between the card and the plate to act as a lubricant and prevent the card from scratching the plate. With the card held at a 75 degree angle, draw the ink from this well across the surface of the plate from top to bottom. Scoop up a bead of ink with the card and deposit a well of it along the top edge of the plate. This will prevent you from depositing ink all around the plate and expedite both the printing and the clean-up.
Set the plate on with the edge just barely overlapping the edge of the ink stand or the edge of an old phone book. Add any modifiers at this time if necessary. Mix the oil and pigment in the ink on the stand with the spatula. If the ink is stored without use for a period of time it is easy to peel of a dried layer from the top of the can if this surface is preserved as flat and smooth as possible. When removing ink from the can scrape an even layer off the surface with a spatula using a circular motion. _newspaper or telephone book for quick clean-up
